About Ahmose-ankh
Lived 1550 BC – 1525 BC (aged 24–25). Ahmose-ankh was an aristocrat.
Ahmose-ankh was a crown prince during the reign of Ahmose I (r. 1570-1546 BC high chronology) in the early Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt.
Family He was the son of Pharaoh Ahmose I and Queen Ahmose Nefertari. He was the crown prince but pre-deceased his father, thus the next pharaoh was his younger brother Amenhotep I. His sister was Ahmose-Meritamun. As his father ascended the throne at the age of 10, Ahmose-ankh must have been born well into the reign. Secondly, he seems to have died at the second part of his fathers reign which lasted 25 years. As a result, Ahmose-ankh was most likely around 20 years old or younger when he died.
